Stupid Interview Question

I'm not following the Ramsey thing, but I have CNN on in the background.

I just heard a reporter ask Mr. Ramsey what the hardest part of this whole thing has been.

"Well, the hardest part was losing a child..."
Duh.

I know that you can get some strange answers to the obvious questions, but some reporters drive me apeshit. And I see it a lot in TV news. I recall a recent telecast where they're on location with a camera in some lady's face asking her how she felt after her kid drowned in a swimming pool or some such thing.

One of the questions to Parcells during a press conference this season, something along these lines:
"You've been talking about how Jones takes a lot of carries, and that contributes to fatigue. Now in baseball, when a pitcher throws a lot of pitches, they get fatigued easily, so how would you compare the position of pitcher in baseball to that of runningback in football?"

That's awesome. It's giving me a migraine just trying to deduce what it was he was aiming it? Did he want a rubber knees comment?

This is not as blatant as these but I watched a HS football game which ended with an interception in the endzone as time ran out. Team A holds on with a 28-22 win. Me and another guy go down talk to losing coach. First question the other guy asks: Coach, what happend on the last play?
Coach looks at him and says: They intercepted the fucking ball, weren't you watching?

I knew the coach pretty well, and he was a bit upset about the loss, but I was trying hard not to crack up. I walked away, and he came up to me a few minutes later and was smiling said "Damn that felt good."
I lost it then. He laughed and I turned to him and said "Coach, okay seriously, what DID happen on that last play?"
